TOM GLEESON'S new book is out now! "Playing Poker with the SAS"
This entertaining an eye opening book is Tom's account of what he saw when he went to entertain Australian troops in the Middle East. Showing that he’s willing anything to get a laugh – even get shot – Tom does all kinds of stuff he’s never normally be able to do: fire machine guns, drive tanks in a drag race, hang out in the Green Zone in Bagdad, and play poker with the SAS.
Available at good bookshops across Australia now.
“Over Christmas and New Year 2006 – 2007 I went to Iraq and Afghanistan and some
other countries he can’t mention to entertain the Australian troops. It was not because I
wanted to aid the war effort, it was not because I wanted to support the diggers. It was just
because I wanted to have a bit of a look”
WELCOME TO GOOD NEWS WEEK! And the good news is, Paul and Mikey are back on Ten!
Courtesy of the writers' strike in the US…Paul McDermott, the acid-tongued cherub of satire, will reprise his role as host of one of Australian TV’s most successful current affairs comedy shows, Good News Week, when it returns to TEN in February 2008.
Having blazed a trail for shows such as "Spicks & Specks" (an ABC TV production) and "The Glass House"
(a GNW production), alleged TV legend Ted Robinson and his production company will bring Good News
Week back to our screens.
Each week, Paul & two Team Captains Mikey Robins and Claire Hooper will lead teams of comedians, media personalities, politicians and "special” guests as they decipher, dissect, deconstruct & completely misrepresent the news of the week.
Paul McDermott said: "The return of Good News Week on TEN. Seriously? It’s going to be like a party at Corey Delaney’s place."
